    Contributed by David Scudder on Jul 25, 2011
    based on 6 ratings
     | 22,062 views

    Have you tried and tried to be holy only to fail time and time again? If so, then the liberating truth that you need is found in God's Name Jehovah-M’Kaddesh (Jehovah Who Sanctifies).

    Purpose: To define holiness and its importance. Aim: I want the listener to pursue holiness. INTRODUCTION: One Sunday on their way home from church, a little girl turned to her mother and said, "Mommy, the preacher's sermon this morning confused me." The mother said, "Oh? Why is that?" The little ...read more

    Anger Is A Threat To Self-Control (12th Sunday After Pentecost 2024)

    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 8, 2024
     | 404 views

    One of those weapons that Satan has used very well through all generations is “fits of anger” (see Galatians 5:20 ESV). I once read a sentence sermon that went like this: "He who angers you controls you".

    ANGER IS A THREAT TO SELF-CONTROL Text: Ephesians 4:25-5:2 Ephesians 4:25-32  So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another.  (26)  Be angry but do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, ...read more

    The Last Three 'fruit Of The Spirit': Faithfulness, Gentleness And Self-Control

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Aug 5, 2023
     | 1,092 views

    How can we be more like God? By demonstrating God's character. We look at three more wonderful qualities of God that the Holy Spirit wants to produce in us.

    INTRODUCTION Today, we’re having the last in our series on the Fruit of the Spirit in Galatians 5. We’re going to look at the last three fruit in Paul’s list: faithfulness, gentleness and self-control. I thought I’d do something a bit different to usual today. I’m going to look at three true ...read more

    Let Go Of Fear Series

    Contributed by Denn Guptill on Oct 19, 2014
     | 8,627 views

    Fear will steal your joy and keep you from doing all that God wants you to do. So, what are we supposed to do with our fear? Let it Go!

    Fear will be your enemy. And that statement seems to set the tone very early in the movie. If there seems to be one overriding emotion in the movie “Frozen” it is fear. The King and Queen are fearful for their daughters and so the girls are separated and grow up alone. Elsa is ...read more

    Part 2: Blessed Or #blessed? Series

    Contributed by James Jackson on Nov 12, 2021
     | 2,579 views

    The way the world understands being blessed couldn't be more different from the Bible's definition. Spoiler alert: The Bible gets it right.

    Blessed Broken Given, Week 2: Blessed vs. #Blessed Genesis 1; Matthew 5 Good morning. I’d like you to have your Bibles open to two different places. (Weird, I know). The first place will be Genesis 1. Then, I’d like you to put a bookmark in Matthew 5. We are continuing the series we started last ...read more

    Getting Real With God

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 27, 2010
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,382 views

    Authenticity before God begins with self-examination, proceeds to self-disclosure, and involves trusted advisors.

    National Baptist Memorial Church, Washington, DC March 13, 2005 The issue is not an academic discussion as to whether there is a God. Relatively few doubt or debate that. The issue is not whether God is real, but whether we know how to get real with God. Let me play out a little scene with ...read more

    Real Leadership Series

    Contributed by C. Philip Green on Feb 22, 2019
     | 9,182 views

    If you want to be a real leader that inspires people to real greatness, define the vision, delegate the work; but most important, deny yourself just like Jesus did. That’s because real leaders are real servants.

    Several years ago, a 19-year-old man, desperate to get to Tokyo’s Haneda Airport, hopped a bus and demanded that the driver take him there. Some say the man was drunk, others that he was disturbed. Either way, only a few of the passengers were concerned, and everyone stayed calm. That’s because ...read more

    Mango Of Meekness Series

    Contributed by James Westervelt on Mar 30, 2002
    based on 154 ratings
     | 11,719 views

    This is what Biblical meekness is all about: "Strength under control," "being unoccupied with self and genuinely concerned for God and others." It is the exact opposite of "self-assertiveness" and "self-interest."

    THE MANGO OF MEEKNESS Intro: A mango is a tropical fruit which hasn’t really "caught on" like the orange, the pineapple or the banana. For those who have acquired a taste for it, it’s sweet and delicious. But for those who haven’t, it’s "different" enough to taste "funny." ...read more

     | 4,293 views

    Taking this popular mantra and applying it to James 1:12, the message brings to light how thin and shallow this approach to life really is.

    The Week That Changed The World: The Day Jesus Conquered His Critics Series

    Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 3, 2021
     | 1,976 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more

    The Unsent "S.o.s."

    Contributed by Dwight Davis on Mar 13, 2018
    based on 1 rating
     | 10,575 views

    In this sermon I try to awaken a sense of urgency, both for unbelievers and professed believers alike, to examine our spiritual lives and see our immediate need for an intimate, saving relationship with Jesus Christ.

    The Unsent S.O.S. You may remember a story that was all over the news back in October of last year. Two women were rescued by the US Coast Guard after being adrift at sea for nearly 5 months. They were on sailboat that sustained damage to the mast and lost the use of its motor. Jennifer Appel and ...read more

    When you have had enough of living in the pigpen, you can return home knowing that the Father waits to receive you.

    “Jesus said, ‘There was a man who had two sons. And the younger of them said to his father, “Father, give me the share of property that is coming to me.” And he divided his property between them. Not many days later, the younger son gathered all he had and took a journey into a far country, and ...read more
